The solution for spraying, which was developed by Dr. Edwin William Schultz and Chemist Louis Philipp Gebhardt of Stanford University, consists of 1% zinc sulphate, 0.5% pure common salt, 1 % pontocaine hydrochloride (a local anesthetic) in distilled water. But to use this effectively is no easy trick. The careful spraying procedure advised by Dr. Peet...
